accommodationist

2020年08月27日 | 英単語
今日はThe Japan Times Onlineのオピニオン記事 'The China hawks got it mostly right' の副題 "Are there any China accommodationists left in Washington?" に出てきた単語 "accommodationist" を覚えたいと思います。 記事内で "accommodationist" が使われている段落を引用します。
China is an aggressive, expansionist power with anti-democratic values, and it is not turning toward liberal ideals. Nor does being “nice” to China yield dividends in terms of encouraging good behavior. As long ago as 2015, writers such as Christopher Balding were far better guides to reality, and far better predictors, than were the China accommodationists.
"accommodationist" の説明を辞書で見ます。

・Oxford English Dictionary: A person who seeks compromise with an opposing point of view, typically a political one.: This journal began by trying to steer a compromise between accommodationists and radicals.

・Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary: one who adapts to or compromises with an opposing view especially : a black person who adapts to the ideals or attitudes of white people: Many African American activists had broken with King, advocating Black Power rather than racial reconciliation, abandoning nonviolence, and denouncing King as an accommodationist.
